Date Published: November 14, 2024
“What doesn’t kill you can shatter you—but it’s in
those broken pieces where true strength is found.”
Amelia’s life is forever changed after a brutal home invasion leaves
her as collateral damage in a crime she doesn’t understand. Her world
unravels, but when her Wall Street husband hires two private security
contractors—Gabriel and Daniel—to investigate the crime and
protect her, the pieces begin to shift.
As the duo digs deeper, they uncover a web of lies and betrayal that puts
Amelia in greater danger than anyone could have imagined. With each
revelation, she learns to fight back, to heal, and to trust again. But trust
is fragile, and not everyone is who they seem.
Set against a backdrop of suspense and action, Collateral Redemption
explores the depths of human resilience, the bonds of loyalty and
friendship, and the transformative power of love. Featuring mature themes,
vivid action, and unforgettable characters, this gripping story transcends
the boundaries of good and evil to show what it means to survive—and
to rebuild.
Perfect for fans of action-packed romance and bodyguard thrillers with
emotional depth, this book is a must-read for anyone who believes in the
power of redemption.
Warning: This novel contains explicit violence, mature themes, and adult
content. Intended for adult readers.
